Science observes and measures gravity, and forms theories about it, but it does not answer 'why'. Nobody knows why the force of gravity exists. That isn't a question for science, it's theology.
But we know the Sun exerts a force on all the planets, and it's inverse-square, which means that the force is one quarter at twice the distance, so at Neptune it is still there but only 1/900 as strong as it is at the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
Why can the sun exert its gravitation on all the planets?
Because it is very massive and therefore its gravity is the strongest of all objects in the solar system, reaching right out to very far out dwarf planets like Eris and Sedna.

Why can the sun exerts its gravitation on all of the planet?
Because the planets are close enough to the sun to be affected by its gravitational field.
Which of asteroids the sun moons or planets has the greatest gravitation force?
The Sun.
Does only the Earth exert gravity?
All matter, including every star, planet, galaxy, or whatever, anywhere in the universe, exerts the same force of gravity, as described by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
What all masses exert on other masses?
All masses exert a gravitational force on other masses, causing them to attract each other. The strength of this force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them, as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation. This force is responsible for phenomena such as orbits of planets around the sun and the attraction between objects on Earth.
What is the relation between sun and planets?
Planets orbit around the sun due to gravitational attraction. The sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets in their orbits, while the planets also exert a gravitational force on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. The sun provides the heat and light necessary for the planets to sustain life.
What keeps the planets from being pulled into the sun?
The planets are kept in orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force between them. This force, which is a balance between the planet's inertia and the sun's gravitational pull, keeps the planets moving in a stable path around the sun.
What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?
Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.
Planets revolve around the sun?
according to newton's law of gravitation every object in the nature attract other due to its gravitational pull so planets revolve around sun.
Who believed that forces keep moons orbiting planets and planets orbiting the sun?
Isaac Newton stated that the universal law of gravitation keeps moons orbiting planets and planets orbiting the sun. This law describes how every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
What would happen if planets were closed to the sun were to slow down to their orbits of the sun?
Currently the gravitation pull of the Sun is balanced by the momentum the planets have due to their velocities. If the Planets were to slow down they would be pulled closer to the Sun. They could be pulled into the Sun or regain stable orbits as the Sun's gravity increased their speeds again.
